You wouldn't believe. I'm look at all my shoes now. I think my Top Shop faux birkies are not going to make it through the whole summer either. I love them. I'm loving them to death... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1277616 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 00:13:10 +0000 unfrumped 1277616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain! Also, sometimes I feel like I may be replacing something right about when it's on the outs, you know?&nbsp; I'm like turning the Titanic.</p> <p>The good think is, I'm seeing a lot of black D'Orsays around at lots of price points so hopefully you can find some and keep going. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1277548 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 21:49:26 +0000 Aida 1277548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Rachy I had a good laugh (and subsequent minor coffee spitup) at removing all the buttons instead of stitching one back on. In your defense, I hear it was uncomfortable when sitting. I can manage buttons for the most part (usually I do hubby's and ignore mine, hmmmm). For me it's more of the "oh these awesome turquoise pants in&nbsp;several sizes up fit perfectly... except at the waist. I'm sure Mr. Tailor could, like, add a bunch of waist darts and reshape the bum but still keep it slouchy, right? He could make these look like they're supposed to be&nbsp;'my size', I'm sure of it. Yeah!&nbsp;I'm totally going to take these in!!" And now it's 2 years later, and those breezy cotton pants are still sitting on the pile wishing desperately that they could help me through a hot summer day -_- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1277391 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:44:46 +0000 kkards 1277391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i feel your pain! i have a pair of black pumps and a pair of suede boots, and when they finally die (i.e. the cobbler can't bring them back one more time), i will mourn for days, maybe months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1277387 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:37:21 +0000 Gracie 1277387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, I don't know what your worn d'Orsay flats look like, so shooting in the dark here, but how about the ones below? I have them and they are very comfy... pointy... with openings between straps...</p> <p>I have a quart jar filled with years of extra buttons too... I'm always wondering what I can do with them since I'm not crafty at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1277378 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:25:32 +0000 rachylou 1277378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I'm so feeble about alterations. I'm feeble about fallen hems and buttons! <i>*Oh that plastic button is too too heavy. I can't lift it to sew it on.*</i> Hehe. I have no idea why I save the extra buttons things come with. I clipped all the buttons off my Marc Jacobs military coat rather than sew <i>one</i> back on. Hahaha.</p> <p>Ok, but my excuse is, it was hard to sit with those lumpy buttons in the back.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276862 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 00:35:24 +0000 Aida 1276862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy you should see my alterations pile (or maybe you shouldn't) &gt;&lt; I get very ambitious about what things will work if I only altered this one thing here or there, but never take them in. Bah. I think there are going to be enough sales going on here that you might be able to find a d'orsay flat AND a slide. Checking with the cobbler is also a good option in the meantime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276655 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 21:12:30 +0000 rachylou 1276655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I wonder if there's a cobbler around me who could do that. The one I used to go to said he couldn't. But that's was in another place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276538 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 18:27:16 +0000 Diana 1276538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might ask a cobbler what they can do. I've had them fix extremely worn down heels. They can fill in the worn down part with rubber. Granted mine were on boots so there is a thicker sole/block to work with. </p> <p>Otherwise, stalk eBay. What I do is set up an email alert which will send you an email each day if there are any hits on your search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276504 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 17:46:00 +0000 rachylou 1276504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I ran down the heel. I was worried about the toe for just the reason you mention, Claire; but I wore down the heel first. Boo hoo!</p> <p>And boo hoo, doubleh, I missed out on 6 pm too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276498 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 17:43:01 +0000 Anonymous 1276498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man! I love D'orsay flats and I never was able to find a pair that would work for my feet. That's too bad that they didn't last very long. Was it the pointy toe that got scuffed? It seems like that would happen easily because of the design of the shoe. (I've also seen a lot of beat up ones that wind up at Last Chance).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276490 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 17:39:00 +0000 doubleh 1276490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, 6pm sometimes has it when zappos stops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276408 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 15:49:59 +0000 rachylou 1276408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's brilliant.

They just worked great for so much, so often.</p> <p>But argh. I got them from Zappos and they're not selling them anymore. I could get the same style in suede, but that's not the same thing at all.</p> <p>#$@#$!!!&nbsp; I need to look fab for the zombies!

After literally maybe 2 months. I can usually count on even shoes I wear a lot to get through a whole season, so it's really annoying. And they're sold out, so I can't do a direct replacement. Even though I'd be tempted not to do that out of resentment even if I could.</p> <p>I do have plenty of other shoes. But I really like these and they go with everything!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276246 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 12:26:41 +0000 Jaime 1276246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting Rachy. Mine also wore out after a few months of intensive use. That usually doesn't happen to me, I wonder if it relates to the style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276224 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 11:40:01 +0000 Glory 1276224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rats! I think you need to keep the peeps open for a replacement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276214 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:42:15 +0000 gryffin 1276214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou - when I love it, it it's financially possible I always duplicate.&nbsp; I know that's not for everyone but finding something I really love is difficult and I am very consistent in my loves.&nbsp; Can you get an identical pair?&nbsp; or two?&nbsp; or three?<br />;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276202 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:14:11 +0000 crutcher 1276202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow...didn't you recently buy those...I seem to remember you did...Sorry things don't last... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276177 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 08:21:30 +0000 Ledonna N. 1276177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to worry just one thing at a time or just go into debt and get everything lol you only live once and I expect The end of the world to be happening soon so it really does not matter. We must all be fab for when the zombies attack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276165 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 07:33:37 +0000 Gigi 1276165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, I RATE too, for exactly the same reasons. There's a reason high fashion used to be the province of only the very wealthy, who had servants! Maybe you need some servants, Rachy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276147 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 06:30:25 +0000 rachylou 1276147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok ok. Deep breaths! Deep breaths! Lol. You're right. But gosh. It just seems like so many little piddling things. This is how come I RATE. The details drive me nuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276137 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 05:40:57 +0000 Neel 1276137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol Rachy! Deep breath .. Deeeeep breath! But sometimes I do wonder why when it rains it pours ... Hmmmm</p> <p>No help ... I know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276121 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 05:00:54 +0000 rachylou 1276121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, I have to add: I was wanting to buy some strappy slides, but now I sort of feel I ought to put it off. But I worry I'll miss the boat on the slides. All of this will be online shopping and I don't know if I can handle two things at once. Besides which, I have ring that's being resized that needs to come back, and I don't know how well the whole resizing thing will go, and I need to take my new ASOS jumpsuit to be altered...</p> <p>What a lot of work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dorsay-flats-worn-out#post-1276118 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 04:53:15 +0000 rachylou 1276118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drat. My black d'Orsay flats have worn out. I'm not ready for that. </p> <p>What do you do when things wear out before you're ready? I mean I guess I'm just gonna go get another pair. I hope I can! </p>
